True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1910

Leah did not say anything, and just became quiet.

The man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm Norval Qualls."

"I know." Leah's tone was indifferent. "I can tell. Hello, Norval."

"Let's meet. Aunt and I are now in Northern City, in the campus of your university," Norval said.

Leah was stunned. She didn't expect her mother to actually bring Norval to Northern City. Was she really not going to give up that time until she reached her goal?

"I'm not at school," Leah said.

"Then, we'll wait for you to come back," Norval said in a firm tone that sounded like rejection was not an option.

Leah felt uncomfortable hearing that, and was disgusted deep down. "I won't go back today."

"Sure, we can meet tomorrow too. We're staying at a hotel in Northern City." Norval seemed to have let out a slight chuckle as well, as he must have sensed Leah's refusal.

It seemed that he would not give up until he saw

Leah.

Leah frowned and said in a deep voice, "Pass the phone back to my mom."

"She is crying." Although Norval did not reject her directly, his tone implied that he didn't want to give the phone back.

Leah frowned even more. "Norval, please tell my mom that I have a boyfriend. He treats me very well. I don't need her to worry about my matters."

Hearing that, Norval seemed to pause for a moment. After a few seconds, his tone became even deeper.

"Is that so?" Norval asked.

"Just tell my mom," Leah said that and wanted to hang up the phone. She didn't want to talk about anything else.

"Wait, don't hang up first." Norval immediately understood Leah's intention to hang up the call and quickly stopped her.

Leah was impatient. "Is there something else you want to say?"

"Since you have a boyfriend and don't need your mom to worry about you, then bring him out. Let's have a meal together so that your mother and I can judge if he is a good boyfriend," Norval said.

Leah was stunned again. She suddenly laughed and her tone was a little cold. "There's no need for that. I will take care of my own business, and I will be responsible for it. I won't bother you both."

"No trouble at all. This is an important matter and it is related to the rest of your life. We all care a lot about you," Norval said.

Leah felt that Norval was being a little too much. He was very clingy, and he would not let her hang up the phone.

She held the phone and couldn't help but to say in a louder voice, "You don't have to. You guys will be doing me a favor by living a good life yourselves. You don't have to worry about the rest. I am very grateful, but I still have something to do now. That's it."

"Leah," her mother called.

Suddenly, her voice came back to the phone.

Leah felt very helpless in an instant.

She wanted to hang up the phone, but her mother cried again. "Leah, do you really have a boyfriend?"

Leah felt that her mother was truly in confusion. Even if she wanted to set her up with Norval, and even if she didn't have a boyfriend, she didn't need to try to match them up in front of Norval, did she?

What was more, she had already said that she had a boyfriend.

She started judging her mother critically. She felt that since she married into the Qualls family, she had devoted herself to them.

Her mother was worried about Norval, not her.

Leah smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I have a boyfriend. You don't have to worry about me. Go back to your home quickly. I don't have time to see you."

"Leah, I know you don't want to see me, but I miss you," Leah's mother said.

"Do you miss me?" Leah asked back. "What do you actually miss?"

Leah's mother was stunned by the question, and there was no answer on the other side of the phone.

Leah continued to say as she laughed. "I don't know who gave you so much confidence, but I just think it's better for us to not meet each other so often."

After saying that, Leah hung up the phone.

There was a dull and uncomfortable feeling in her chest.

She inhaled deeply and held her breath, but still felt a little depressed.

She looked back and saw that Ernest was looking at her from the car. It was far away and he did not get off the car, but he rolled down the window. It seemed that he had been staring at her.

Leah turned her head back, wondering if Ernest had heard their conversation. She didn't know how to talk about this kind of nonsensical matter, and she did not want to talk about it either.

She looked at the grey sky in the distance, it reflected her mood.

Leah gave a wry smile. Since when did she become a pessimist? Her mind was wandering, she did not seem to be her usual self.

She didn't want herself to be like that. She didn't like it, as It was too pretentious.

Shaking her head, she turned back to the car and smiled at Ernest. "Sorry, I've been on the phone for too long."

"It doesn't matter." Ernest shook his head and looked at Leah. He just felt a little strange. Earlier, he heard a few sentences from her phone call. Although he did not hear clearly, he could sense that Leah was a little agitated.

Only then did Ernest realize that he didn't understand Leah. It seemed that Leah had many secrets.

For example, she avoided him when she took the call.

Ernest felt very strange. Who was calling that she

had to avoid him?

Leah did not have any intention of explaining and diverted the topic. "By the way, when will the class end? I remember that you said that you also graduated from this school, didn't you?"

"There's about 15 minutes left, since they're following the winter schedule," said Ernest.

"Oh, so long more?" Leah muttered to herself, then shook her head and smiled. "Let's wait then."

She lowered her head to look at her cell phone, planning to browse her phone to kill time.

Seeing that Leah didn't want to pay any attention to him, he frowned.

He was also very quiet as he stared at Leah. His gaze followed her and he saw her phone.
